The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently charged licensed animal exhibitor Reginald Parr of Houston, Texas, with violations of the Animal Welfare Act.
"It is the role of our inspectors to examine individuals and organizations that are licensed by USDA for any violations of the AWA," said W. Ron DeHaven, deputy administrator for animal care with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, a part of USDA's marketing and regulatory programs mission area. "In every case, the health and safety of the animals is our primary concern."
APHIS inspectors found that Parr failed to:
--Maintain programs of disease control and prevention, euthanasia, and adequate veterinary care under the supervision and assistance of a veterinarian;
--Maintain complete records showing the acquisition, disposition, and identification of animals;
--Maintain structurally sound housing facilities for animals in good repair so as to protect the animals from injury, to contain the animals, and to restrict the entrance of other animals; and
-Employ a sufficient number of people to maintain the prescribed level of husbandry practices.
